I like to start with a pair of aces, but it doesn't really matter what I like, it's better to take into account what the dealer likes to start with.

For me, A-A and K-K are the winners.

Spielkind · Feb 11, 2025

i love kk-in every Position

Spielkind · Feb 11, 2025

someties also 96 in every Position

Poker Orifice · Feb 11, 2025

probably one of my favorite pairs >>>

85champ07 · Feb 11, 2025

QQ or KK are my favorite. AA is overrated and underpairs are too weak.

Bhargav · Feb 11, 2025

AA, KK & QQ. these 3 are equal for me. Generally I don't like pairs. Pairs are like a coin flip (win/lose). Zero playability.

I love 9 9.A fairly strong made hand, capable of winning even at showdown without additional strengthening.

Munchies11 · Feb 12, 2025

Pocket 4s all day !

seiya1989 · Feb 12, 2025

22 is the best

SPANKYSN · Feb 13, 2025

My very first winning hand playing live Texas Holden was 77, so it is my sentimental favourite.

BrunoFabri01 · Feb 13, 2025

I like to play with pair of 10s

hardongear · Feb 13, 2025

Not picking the obvious answer. I'm picking 99 cause I hit trips a lot with them and they usually to win me a huge pot.

Cheers!!!

AA, KK, QQ.
The strongest pairs are, of course, my favourite.

gloria_marga · Feb 13, 2025

For some reason, I have completed more sets when my pocket pair is 88.

63burner · Feb 13, 2025

I have had good hands wsith 66, surprisingly enough. Have made the evil hand, 666, a few times, but I seem to make one-card straights , where the one card is a six.

Mine is 10s, TT - I've cracked so many AAs/KKs with them. They're my lucky pair for sure 🥰

Pairs are one of the strongest starting hands in poker, and they give you a built-in advantage before the flop. While it's true that lower pairs can sometimes feel like a coin flip against overcards, the key is knowing how to play them in different situations rather than fearing variance.
Why You Should Love Pairs:

* Always Ahead of Unpaired Hands – Even pocket 2s have an edge over unpaired hands like AK.
* Set-Mining Potential – Flopping a set can lead to massive pots.
* Strong Preflop Shove Hands – Mid-to-high pairs are great for applying pressure.
* Control Over Hand Strength – Unlike drawing hands, you already know your strength from the start.
How to Play Pairs Differently:

Premium Pairs (AA, KK, QQ): Raise big, isolate weaker hands, and often commit post-flop.
Mid Pairs (99, TT, JJ): Aggressive in late position, cautious early, and strong for shoving with short stacks.
Small Pairs (22-88): Play for set value, especially deep-stacked, but be ready to fold if you miss.

Pairs aren’t just about flipping coins—they're powerful weapons when played correctly!

AA all daylong, but can be a cruel mistress often nonetheless!!

orchidra · Feb 15, 2025

Pocket tens for me. If one is clubs, then I'm almost bullet proof.
